The training, validation, and test sets for each malaria parasite category were randomly selected. A comprehensive analysis was performed on 12 708 thin blood smear images of various infective stages of 12 546 malaria parasites, including P falciparum, P vivax, P malariae, P ovale, P knowlesi, and P cynomolgi. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 380 patients diagnosed with malaria. Additionally, blood samples from monkeys diagnosed with malaria were used to analyze P cynomolgi.
